The facility leverages two advanced simulation models: Magic Formula (MF-tyre) and FTire® physical models, enabling sophisticated vehicle dynamics analysis. These cutting-edge tools allow engineers to predict tyre behavior across diverse winter conditions with remarkable accuracy, supporting comprehensive characterization from initial design through final validation.

Applus+ IDIADA's Arctic testing services represent a significant advancement in automotive safety testing, combining authentic polar conditions with state-of-the-art simulation technology. This complete solution ensures next-generation tyres deliver optimal performance when winter driving demands it most, providing manufacturers with the critical data needed for superior cold-weather vehicle dynamics. These enhanced capabilities are made possible through Applus+ IDIADA's strategic partnership with UTAC in Finland, leveraging world-class indoor and outdoor testing infrastructure.
